[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] manekineko:
XDAndroid is a project to port Android onto older HTC phones.

There are two main parts of XDAndroid, which combine to form a complete port:

Kernel/drivers: You can find packages to run Android on old HTC phones from a variety of sources, but whatever package you use, all rely upon the kernels/drivers created by the XDAndroid team to enable the basic hardware.

Android system: The Android system forms all of the parts of the phone's interface that you can directly interact with. Once the kernel/drivers have setup the hardware, you can add on an Android system port of your choice to form a complete build. Many system ports are available, both in terms of different versions (2.1 Eclair, 2.2 Froyo, 2.3 Gingerbread, etc.) and different starting points in the case of ports written by those outside of XDAndroid.

XDAndroid releases an "official" system port you can use, which is directly ported over by the XDAndroid team from the Android Open Source Project, and is very close to stock. Many of the alternative builds you come across are modifications of the XDAndroid system, containing customizations that deviate farther from stock Android, while others have different starting points altogether, and are ports of the ROMs found on official shipping devices that have already been customized (but still use the same basic kernel/drivers found here).

Android is a framework that runs on top of Linux. In order to get Android running on our devices, first we must get Linux running on the hardware with all drivers implemented, and then, we hook Android into these drivers. Thus, broadly viewed, the XDAndroid project is divided into two parts: the kernel/drivers and the Android port.

When you look at the files in your Android directory, you'll probably see something like the following:

zImage: The Linux kernel and drivers.

modules-###: Additional drivers for the kernel. Your system will load without this, but things like wifi may not work, or you may encounter instability.

initrd.gz: Used in the Linux boot process.

system.ext2: Most of the Android framework.

rootfs.img: Additional parts of the Android framework that are customized for our devices.

data.img: This file contains what would be your internal memory on a real Android device. Whenever you install a program it goes in to here. A new empty one will be automatically created if you don't have one.

haret.exe: Reboots you from Windows into XDAndroid.

startup.txt: Commands passed to XDAndroid on bootup that are customized by the user.

ts-calibration: Contains calibration information for the touch screen. If you don't have this file, you will be prompted to calibrate your screen on startup.

AndroidApps: A folder where if you copy any apks into it, they will be automatically installed on bootup.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] webxplore:
Good explanation manekineko!...I believe this is what op was looking for.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] shatred:
there is light at the end of the tunnel, it wont take much longer if the devs keep up this good work, until there can be made stable and good builds with good battery life etc. when the time is there i will create an complete noob friendly installation guide (with pics and maybe even an vid).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] gueyenono:
I'm currently trying to figure out which one to install!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] gueyenono:
Thank you so much for your explanations, manekineko. I believe that I am now ready to cruise through all the threads of this section without fear.

shatred, I am eagerly waiting for two things: (i) for the developers to release the perfect Android builds (my sincere encouragements to them by the way!!!) and (ii) for your installation guide.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] shatred:
tell me your phone type, so an rhod-100? 200? 300? etc.

and tell me what you prefer more, an good battery life and an stable running system without camera support OR less stable system, bad battery life but with camera support.

Tell me and i will help you :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Uhm... You no longer have to choose. WisTilt2 pulled the latest commits from GIT into his test kernel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] shatred:
yeah but if you activate the camera libs the phone wont go into deep sleep mode right? or is that fixed already?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Seems I was wrong about that. It was the other way around, if the libs are disabled the phone won't sleep.

However, with FRX05 there's no need for the libs. FRX05 + GIT kernel or WisTilt2's newest kernel is all you need for cam.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] shatred:
hmm yeah about that, i tried frx05 with wistilt2 latest kernels but it doesnt work for me, i think its an problem with my user conf... can you perhaps send me your user conf from frx05?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Same for FRX04... It's in my bundle.

If you remove all of the ln -s and bind mounts, should work just fine...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgemhsu:
Hi All,

Tried to search for this already but didn't find it.

I have an unlocked Captivate and am using it on the TMobile Network. I was originally on a $10 a month Data Plan but for some mysterious reason, I am no longer to get on the internet, nor send out any MMS. I am still able to receive MMS but just can't send any at all.

Any time I try to send a MMS, it sits on the "sending" status for about 15 min and then it finally just comes back to me with "failed".

I have been using this data plan on my phone for about 2.5 months now no problem and then a few days ago, it basically crapped out on me.

I have tried a few different APN settings:

Data Roaming is Checked

Access Point Name: t-mobile

APN: internet2.voicestream.com

MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

APN Type: internet + mms

All others are not set

Access Point Name: t-mobile

APN: wap.voicestream.com

MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

APN Type: internet + mms

All others are not set

and

Access Point Name: t-mobile

APN: epc.tmobile.com

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

APN Type: internet + mms

All others are not set

I would set one of them in the settings, restart the phone and try them. They now always default to the "web2go" upsale screen.

Before I always had it set to the internet2.voicestream.com settings and it worked great.

I tried calling TMobile and they are now telling me that the "system" has somehow figured out that I'm using an Android/Smartphone and isn't allowing me to use the $10 data plan anymore.

I don't understand how that is if every rep has had to ask me what phone I use, unless one of the times I called in, the rep entered that into the system and now they know?

Now they are saying the only way that I am able to send MMS now and or get on internet is if I upgrade to the 200mb/mo for $15 data plan or $30/mo for unlimited.

Can anyone verify this? That they somehow the System is able to see what kind of phone I use and if so... would I be able to trick the system somehow and use a non smartphone like an old nokia for a while and go online, etc... and then switch back to my captivate if it works?

I feel like they're just trying to upsell me and a bratty rep kicked me off moreso than the "System".

[Galaxy Tab General] ellokomen:
hello,

I would like to convert my sprint galaxy tab filesystem to EXT4 but I have some questions:

I'm running stock firmware with no modifications rather than root and adhoc enabler.

Will I need to reinstall another firmware to achieve this?

will EXT4 increase the general performance of my galaxy tab?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
I dont play games much on the tab. Occasionally watch tv episodes online. Exchange, fb, calls everyday. Didnt notice huge improvement. Some but not much for what i use the tab 4.
[Galaxy Tab General] ellokomen:
I have like 12 pages of apps on the galaxy tab and indeed it is slower than when I first used it, so any improve on performance is very welcome

revert back to previous roms not for rotting 2.3. Sorry for the confusion!

Rooting is already now possible using CF-Root. You must flash package via 3e recovery. Link to post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9920908&postcount=3

Good luck. I am going to wait for custom rom dev's to work on this before using it again. Am very happy with essential rom tweaked how I like it

I just noticed I am not getting push notifications for emails while on wi-fi. As soon as i turn wi-fi off the emails come in.

I downloaded k-9 to see if it was just gmail acting up but its the same for that as well.

have done quite a bit of searching for answers but none of them seem any good please help me out this is pretty annoying
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelcity:
nobody?

aside from the god awful battery life im getting with this rom that im also tryin to fix i really like it and want to keep it..

but there has got to be some way to fix this wifi notifications problem really bothering me since i am on wi-fi all the time at home

edit: im pretty sure if i turn the wi-fi sleep policy to when screen is off then that might be a way around this problem but I never had to to that on stock so i feel like there must be a way to fix it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelcity:
well thanks for all the help guys i appreciate it

but if anybody is interested for future reference.. by going into the modem and allowing my device through the gaming dmz that seems to have fixed the problem

glad i made this thread (not)

[HTC Inspire 4G] cappyandroid:
Hey guys,

I have a Captivate right now and am strongly considering switching over to the Inspire. I really wanted to get former Captivate user's opinions before I go ahead and jump ship; I really think that there are a couple of faults the Inspire has and I want to make sure that I'm making the right choice.

So, I kinda want to get this through before you guys ask

I don't use data, I use Wi-Fi at home.

I don't need GPS.

Texting and calling is important for me.

Graphics and speed is important for me.

Memory is important for me.

I'm going to be using it with a data opt-out on this phone, so I won't even have EDGE. I normally use my phone to listen to my music library, text, and call friends, with the occasional game/app every once in a while. I also enjoy reading occasionally, which is why I'm considering switching to the bigger-screened Inspire. I definitely will have to buy a 32GB microSD for it too, since my music library is a little bit under 8GB, and even then--it's still growing every other weekend.

What should I consider before switching?

Thanks, and sorry for the long post..
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Speaking as a former cappy owner, the inspire out of the box is already better than any custom rom captivate. Adding cm7 makes it so bloody quick that it will blow you away. And with the recent audio fix posted in the Dev forum, calls are crystal clear.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Do it.

[HTC Inspire 4G] chingaman56:
Get rid of the cappy, sold mine on craigslist and haven't looked back. It's nice to have a phone where everything works with no modding!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] redstar299:
You won't regret it

Captivate was nice but this phone is way faster and better and doesn't need all the mods to get it to work like it should. Def go for it
[HTC Inspire 4G] farmercyst:
I agree. Do it. Even stock, this phone is better then captivated. The best part is that everything works. If you use the stock rooted roms, the call quality is great, the gps works and the keyboard a lot better the captivated. The only problem is that the root kinda sucks compared to captivated but not too bad. I haven't tested the music app yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
you couldnt pay me to go back to captivate way faster. everyone keeps boasting about how good the cappy hardware is but it doesnt compare in speed to inrpsire out of the box mine is stock and was doing 2200 to 2400 on quad scores, Definately loving my inspire. Not to mention how sweet the htc software looks out of the box .
[HTC Inspire 4G] kezell:
I agree...I came from the captivate world and its amazing how different the Froyo 2.2 is from one device to another. And then there is the GPS.....I didnt know what a GPS was with the captivate.

But I did love my captivate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
The difference is night and day.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:

[HTC Inspire 4G] florelui001p:
Just sold my cappy on Craiglist today and got the Inspire, all I can say is wow! Amazing phone I love it, the freaking gps actually works! Get this phone man you won't regret it!

On a side note(sorry not trying to steal your thread), even though this phone is "4G" I don't need an extra data plan besides my $25/month 2gb plan?
[HTC Inspire 4G] DumIam:
as a former Cappy owner let me add my 2 cents is well lol. Get the Inspire and don't look back. Right out of the box, stock, it has more to offer than a custom Rom on cappy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blperks2:
I have the Captivate, the Inspire and the Atrix. I like the Inspire better than the other 2 , in fact, about to see my craptivate on Craigslist, not even keeping it as a backup.

You will love the Inspire, fast, just works, great integration of Sense UI, beautiful and build quality is beyond.

Do it...............
[HTC Inspire 4G] shamelin73:
Just sold my Captivate on EBay. Don't regret it at all. The inspire is a great phone.

This x100. CM7 is more stable and faster than anything you would ever flash on the Captivate. And that's before OC'ing.

[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
This is a pretty amazing statement seeing how the atrix is supported to be so much better than the inspire based on the specs. I have been trying to explain to a lot of people on xda that it is not all about the specs and when u compare the atrix to the inspire the inspire is just a better phone. The development is already better than the captivate and with the atrix and its locked bootloader u are forced to wait on MOTO. Not to mention the inspires screen blows the atrix out the water! Inspire FTW!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
same data plan but they change it to what is called hspa + 4g still data pro 2gig 25.00 and I love the inspire battery life is equal if not better then captivate. I use captivate moderately at work and it needs to be charged on way home, my inspire used heavy all day today and was at like 45% battery power omw home. People can state all they want that captivate has better hardware but fact is inspire is faster I was getting 2200 and higher quad and that is on stock no tweaks at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] davisvant:
I work at an at&t retailer and I got my Inspire when it came out. I was hesitant because I loved my captivate but everything on the inspire is better. the only thing i miss is swype and free wifi teathering ( im waiting for one click root on the inspire bc im a noob). The Inspire is well worth the money but if your willing to wait the samsung infuse is coming out soon and will be even better in my opinion. I have had a few customers come in hating the captivate, due to battery, service quality, and other issues and i got them in to inspires and all of them only have good things to say about it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
its very easy to put swype on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sportedwood:
I have had the captivate since launch day and got the inspire a week or so ago. This evening I dropped the inspire in some water getting out of my car :mad: Screen comes on but touch not working all the time. Its sitting in a cup or rice and I'm using the captivate again. Its over-clocked to 1.4 and running serendipity while my inspire was 1.7 and cm7.

Right away I notice the captivate feels slower to open apps and populate information in apps on first open, the inspire is almost instant. Once apps are loaded into memory they feel similar but the captivate with widgets and multiple apps open does bog down compared to the inspire.

When I first switched to the inspire I missed the captivate screen, now I miss the inspire screen so who knows what that says.

All in all I hope the inspire recovers and the captivate will be on craigslist. Its been a great phone and fun introduction to android but the inspire is just better in almost every way and the additional memory seals the deal for me.

O but the gpu on the captivate is better, gets better frame rate in almost everything Ive seen 3D wise but not by much. Inspire does get about 30-40% more battery life over captivate for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
first off the dual core processor on the atrix isnt even being utilized until a version of android gets release that can actually use it. the Inspire is the better device ....at the moment that is...
[HTC Inspire 4G] mikejames07:
I actually still have my Captivate and I look at it everyday with disgust lol. LIke everyone is saying. The INspire is much better out of the box. I tried CM7 on it and it was extrememly fast but I must say I'm a fan of Sense:rolleyes:. I'm holding on to my Captivate for now hoping it will get a stable version of CM6 or 7 soon. Otherwise I'll sell it, definitely make the jump.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mikejames07:
I read somewhere by a "former" Atrix (now Inspire) owner that the dual core is only utilized for the webtop application. I have no immediate knowledge of this, just thought I'd share what I read
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Ditto

[HTC Inspire 4G] skipper86:
cappy to inspire.

Get the Inspire. It is a great phone. I had the captivate, rooted with a bunch of different roms. Switched to Inspire, then tried Atrix and back to Inspire. I love HTC phones and the Sense UI is perfect for me. I liked the atrix but a few things bothered me, nothing major just personal preferences. I like to be able to sync my phone with outlook, (old school I know, but what can I say). I like the ability to delete 1 phone call at a time instead of clearing all on the atrix (or iphone). I like the fact that on the inspire, I have the option to delete messages on the server when deleted on device. I never did find that option on the Atrix. The Atrix is lighter, but the Inspire feels so much more hardy. Just my preferences.
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
How much would the captivate get me if I sold it on Craigslist? Great condition no scratches or anything on it. Any idea? Cause I'm thinking about getting the Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] 2kgt:
I sold mine yesterday for $300. Same condition as yours.
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
On craigslist?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 2kgt:
Yeah, on Craigslist.
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
Even after that the problem would be finding a Inspire that's not 400 bucks somewhere...
[HTC Inspire 4G] secretasianman:
Keep your Captivate. With the list you created I'd just install a custom ROM to get away from the lag on the phone. The Captivate Hummingbird processor is still quite powerful. Samsung included codecs for smooth playback of 1280x720 MKV files. The Inspire is VERY lack in this regard. I think two of the biggest reasons why people ditched the Captivate was for the bigger screen and working GPS. Since GPS isn't a big deal, you'll need to decide for yourself if the 0.3" bigger screen is worth the jump.

How the heck are you doing data opt-out? I was under the impression all AT&T branded smartphones required a data plan.
